Not surprising really. Copy needs to be online near instantly, so no cross-checking of spelling, and clickbait articles (a la the Daily Mail) are too damned effective at bringing in traffic.

I derided it at the time, but The Times' paywall seems, from what I'm told (I'm not a sub), to be the best way of financing a quality online operation.
